About six months ago due to rising publication/mailing costs, we began to send our monthly newsletter via e-mail to those members who had provided us with an e-mail address.

Also we have not received dues for 2010 for many members. We will be mailing the magazine (Pioneer Trails) shortly to all who have renewed in 2010. If you are unsure if we have received your 2010 dues, contact us and we can check for you.
